Problem 5. (20 Marks)

A paper mill processes rolls of paper having a density of 984 kg/m3. The paper roll is 1.50 m outside
dia (OD) by 22 cm inside dia (ID) by 3.23 m long (L) and is on a simply supported, hollow steel shaft.
Find the shaft inner diameter d needed if the maximum deflection at the roll center (i.e. at L/2) is 3
mm.
